Lighthearted London

  • May 14, 2013
  • Jules

While London boasts the most impressive theater district in the world in its West End, there is plenty available for those looking for more lighthearted and casual evening entertainment. While planning your vacation, look up one of the many great comedy clubs in London. They may not get quite as much press as the theater district but they are some of the highest quality comedy entertainment available in the world. The location makes it a stop for every comedian in Europe and the first stop of every major tour of North America’s best comics as well.

After a couple days of taking in the sights in London and soaking up the culture and pomp an evening to just go out and enjoy laughs with the family or friends is well deserved. For the younger crowd that is not so intrigued by opera and traditional theater comedy in London may be the cultural experience more to their liking for a vacation experience.

World renowned venues such as The Comedy Store and Live at the Chapel are obvious choices but there are in fact over 30 comedy clubs in London to choose from ensuring there is not a night without a choice selection for any tastes. Open mic nights are common with some truly talented not yet famous comedians in some clubs while others regularly sell out appearances from the biggest names in comedy.

Most shows in the London clubs run from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM leaving time for dinner before and your choice of an early bed or the more common option of the amazing nightclubs, music, and dancing following the show. If the purpose of a holiday is to laugh, smile, and have fun it is hard to think of a better way to spend an evening at place designed just for that purpose.

Many clubs take all the troubles from planning an evening out in a new city. Check out www.comedycarnival.co.uk for their plans that include complete packages of dinner, VIP seating, and nightclub dancing and entertainment until the early morning hours. If you have a birthday, anniversary, or just a want a special night out these type of packages make sure all goes as planned taking the guesswork out of the evening.

After a night on the London comedy circuit the only tough decision will be how to rearrange your schedule to fit in another night of the same on your holiday.
